Our family, the Gardner side, came to visit...and Farmington based friends came with them. It was fun providing directions, showing around (although we didn't do too much), and oh course eating with everyone. They got in late Wednesday night and left Sunday.
The two records set while they were here were
1. People in our apartment: 15
There weren't really enough places for everyone to sit but they got to experience how we live. The tiny space certainly isn't ideal but I enjoy knowing we'll never live somewhere this small again. It's only up from here.
2. Broadway shows seen in one week: 3
Jason and I went to see Spring Awakening with friends from A Dalton Summer. This year the new and (understandably) controversial musical won 8 Tony's, including best musical. Spring Awakening is the story of young teenagers in Germany late 1800s, focusing on morality, sexuality, and angst. We liked the edgy rock music and the acting was unbelievable.
Thursday we saw Jersey Boys, which I can say is my favorite show of all time. It's the behind the scenes story of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons..."ask four guys, get four different answers." The audience was giving standing Os in the middle of the show! (There's sample music that plays on the website). If you can tolerate the "authentic, profane Jersey vocabulary" (read:f-bombs) get tickets now.
And then Friday, while Jason was at his second Yankee game in two days, I saw Mary Poppins. All the hype about the sets is accurate. I kept thinking "how did they do that?", "where did he come from?", and "how did they her up there?". The dance #s were incredible and the large cast which 'em even more fun.
